Federweisser

Federweisser, also known as Neuer Wein, is a low-alcohol (4% ABV and up) wine available soon after harvest in some German grape-growing regions. It is essentially partially-fermented white wine, served with the yeast still in suspension in the manner of a hefewweizen.

A version of federweisser made with red grapes is also available but less common.
